5 25 Dec 2001; Martin Schlemmer (azarah@gentoo.org); Update
6 /etc/init.d/shutdown.sh and /etc/init.d/reboot.sh not to force the
7 halt and reboot. This fixes a problem where / was not unmounted
8 properly in some cases.
9
10 24 Dec 2001; Martin Schlemmer (azarah@gentoo.org): Move $svcdir to
11 to /etc/init.d/functions.sh, and update /etc/init.d/runscript.sh and
12 /etc/init.d/depscan.sh for this
13
14 Modified /etc/init.d/runscript.sh to also restart the services that
15 depend on a service if that service is restarted. Enhanced the
16 restart function to be able to have custom restart() functions in
17 rc-scripts. The custom restart() have to use svc_stop() and
18 svc_start() to restart the service.
19
20 Add a pause function to /etc/init.d/runscript.sh. It will basically
21 stop a service without stopping the services that depends on that
22 service.
23
24* rc-scripts 1.2.3 (18 Dec 2001)
25
26 16 Dec 2001; Martin Schlemmer (azarah@gentoo.org): Moved the stuff from
27 /sbin/init (old) to /sbin/rc (basically drop the init wrapper we used).
28
29 Some cleanups: take out the shm resize comment;
30
31 remove the $wrongmount;
32
33 remove the mountshm() function and insert it directly
34 where needed;
35
36 remove the setting of $PATH as /sbin/init already do
37 this for us.
38
39 Added the if statement to detect if it is the first time the 'boot'
40 runlevel is executed (if [ "$RUNLEVEL" = "S" ] && [ "$argv1" = "boot" ]).
41 $RUNLEVEL is a env var set by /sbin/init.
42
43 Also added functionality to detect if the kernel have DEVFS support
44 compiled in; seems new users thinks devfs is unstable and as they do
45 not always read the docs, it does not get compiled in ;/ Should
46 make live for us a bit easier.
47
48 14 Dec 2001; Martin Schlemmer (azarah@gentoo.org): Fixed /sbin/rc to kill
49 a cosmetic bug in the part that stops all the unneeded services.
4 50

45 87
46 Added a localhost line to /etc/hosts after yet another post to gentoo-user.
47 I cant see any problem with this, and since nobody else wants to take the
48 plunge ....
49
50 Added a stop() function to /etc/init.d/clock. Also removed uneeded 88 Added a stop() function to /etc/init.d/clock. Also removed uneeded
51 'source /etc/rc.conf' line. 89 'source /etc/rc.conf' line.
52 90
53 Updated /etc/init.d/hostname to set the hostname to 'localhost' if 91 Updated /etc/init.d/hostname to set the hostname to 'localhost' if
54 /etc/hostname is invalid. 92 /etc/hostname is invalid.
55
56 Updated /etc/init.d/hdparm to display a [ok] for each drive it optimizes.
57 93
58 Updated /sbin/init to move the entries in /lib/dev-state to /dev before 94 Updated /sbin/init to move the entries in /lib/dev-state to /dev before
59 running devfsd, as it did still not save settings properly. Also removed 95 running devfsd, as it did still not save settings properly. Also removed
60 old /dev-state/compat stuff. 96 old /dev-state/compat stuff.
61 97
62 Removed a stupid bug out of /sbin/init ... /lib/dev-state/* was moved
63 to /dev *before* /dev was mounted.
64
65 Seems the .keep files in /lib/dev-state/pts and /lib/dev-state/shm
66 caused /sbin/init to lock while moving /lib/dev-state/* to /dev. Added
67 the needed fixes to the baselayout ebuild.
68
69 On second thoughts, removed the 'try' out of the code that moves
70 /lib/dev-state/* to /dev, since this is not a critical task, and
71 booting will still continue on failure.
72
